The last words of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant who tragically died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020, in Calabasas, California, are not publicly known with certainty and have been subject to much speculation and misinformation online. According to the National Transportation Safety Board investigation and reports from investigators, the helicopter encountered fog and crashed, and there were no recorded cockpit voice recordings that captured intelligible last words that have been released publicly. Some media reports have stated that Kobe Bryant's last reported communication was to reassure his daughter and other passengers, but these accounts are based on secondhand information and are not officially confirmed. Other viral social media posts claiming to know their exact last words are unverified and often false. What is known is that Kobe, Gianna, and seven others were traveling to a youth basketball tournament at Mamba Sports Academy when the helicopter crashed due to pilot spatial disorientation in fog. Out of respect for the families, investigators have not released graphic details about final moments. The Bryant family has asked for privacy and for people to remember Kobe and Gianna for their lives and legacy in basketball and community service rather than focusing on speculation about their final moments.
